I thought I said that.... :) But seriously, my fixed temp WTCPN with a 700 degree tip will handle some pretty big stuff with a decent chisel tip in it. I don't know the "wattage" on this iron, but it's sufficient to maintain tip temperature when soldering coax connectors to the braid. If the job is too big for it, supplimentary heat from one of my guns will melt just about anything I throw at the pair. Fixed temp and variable temp regulated irons aren't typically speced in Watts anyway. 73 -Jim -- Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, Nebraska, U.S.S.A.
